Fermanagh & Omagh Tourism Development Strategy Final Report, May 2016 2 1 Introduction Fermanagh and Omagh District Council was established in April 2015 through the reorganisation of local government in Northern Ireland. It brings together the former legacy councils of Fermanagh and Omagh District Councils. The new Council area comprises nearly 3,000km2 and is home to 115,000 people. It is the largest geographically of the 11 new councils, but with the smallest population1. The Council has committed to economic development and tourism as policy priorities, acknowledging the importance of sustaining jobs and ensuring place competitiveness. The geography of the new Council and its organisational context are different from before and necessitate a new analysis of how the local authority and its stakeholders throughout the tourism sector should operate to stimulate and further grow the tourism economy. The context for tourism has also changed in other ways: • Fermanagh and Omagh District Council’s brief and remit have been broadened in the areas of community planning, economic and tourism development, giving it additional powers to intervene in these areas; • Tourism Northern Ireland’s (TNI) role and focus has changed to provide a stronger area focus, following a Northern Ireland Executive review of tourism structures2. Fermanagh and Omagh covers two of the nine designated Northern Ireland tourism destinations – Fermanagh Lakelands being wholly within the new Council area and the Tyrone and Sperrins destination being shared with a number of other local authorities. In terms of ranking and status, Fermanagh and Omagh achieved: • 388,000 trips and over 1.06m overnight stays in 2014 (5th local government district out of 11; 8% of the NI total) valued at £64m (3rd highest of 11; 8.5% of the NI total) • Just under 3,500 jobs in tourism and hospitality sectors (almost 6% of the NI total, and 9% of all jobs in Fermanagh and Omagh)3 • 4,295 beds (10% of the NI total; the 3rd highest in NI), with strong representation in the self-catering sector. This tourism development strategy identifies performance across the area, key issues, challenges and opportunities for the future. The tourism products are relatively well known, but we restate these to provide readers with a new baseline for assessing future performance. The establishment of the new Council provides exceptional prospects to redefine how tourism is managed and developed. Crucially, relationships between local government, the tourism trade and operators will impact on tourism’s success for many years in the future. That is why this strategy is so important in defining these parameters and giving the best chances for success in the future. The tourism development strategy addresses four complementary strands: • Market demand (where visitors are from, how many of

    Database of Irish Historical Statistics - Language Notes 1 Language Notes on Language (Barony) From the census of 1851 onwards information was sought on those who spoke Irish only and those bi-lingual. However the presentation of language data changes from one census to the next between 1851 and 1871 but thereafter remains the same (1871-1891).

IV., c 99. Their origins pre-date this act, they were used in the assessments of local taxation under the Grand Juries. Over time many were split into smaller units and a few were amalgamated. Townlands and parishes - smaller units - were detached from one barony and allocated to an adjoining one at vaious intervals. This the size of many baronines changed, albiet not substantially. Furthermore, reclamation of sea and loughs expanded the land mass of Ireland, consequently between 1851 and 1861 Ireland increased its size by 9,433 acres. The census Commissioners used Barony units for organising the census data from 1821 to 1891. These notes are to guide the user through these changes. From the census of 1871 to 1891 the number of subjects enumerated at this level decreased In addition, city and large town data are also included in many of the barony tables.

  • History of Roads Service.Pub
    1 A History of Roads Service 1973 - 2005 2 3 Foreword In late 2003 the Northern Ireland Branch of the County Surveyors’ Society proposed that Roads Service should commission a printed document describing the creation of the organi- sation and the first 30 years of its history. In addition, consideration was to be given to the establishment of a physical archive of important documents and other material. This proposal was accepted in late 2004 and this document is the result of the efforts of the authors which have included consultation and discussion with many members of staff, both past and present. We were asked to prepare a history that was formal rather than anecdo- tal. It was acknowledged that there would be some overlap with other publications and in par- ticular the Institution of Highways and Transportation Silver Jubilee document of 1989, the Roads Service Jubilee Reflections of 1998, and the Northern Ireland Motorway Achieve- ment of 2002. We considered it important to set the formation of the organisation in the context of the pro- posals to reshape local government which were developed between 1966 and 1970. There are of course proposals stemming from the recent Review of Public Administration which may have far reaching implications for the Roads Service as we have known it over the last 33 years. In a publication such as this, it is not possible to record all organisational changes or cap- ture references to all functions the organisation carried out. However we hope that readers will find something of interest in the document. Finally, this document would not have been possible without the generous assistance of many people, the names of whom we have acknowledged in Appendix E.
